    This depends on your state law. In general, if you declare bankruptcy your qualified retirement plans like 401(k)'s, and rollover IRAs established with funds from a qualified retirement plan are protected from creditors (except for the IRS), and traditional IRAs are protected up to $1M. If you have not declared bankruptcy, then state law determines whether your IRA is protected.
